Mrs Alsop added: “McDonald’s customers can now request a charging token with their meal, allowing them to charge their EV for an hour – thus providing an average drive of around 20 miles for free.

“McDonald’s charging point push has proven extremely popular with local mayors and councillors, as it is helps to promote greener driving in those areas and also lowers McDonald’s customers’ effects on the environment.

“For many years now, McDonald’s has been committed to focusing on ways to reduce harmful emissions and as part of this have chosen to adopt a fleet of new EVs for some of their staff.”
